Sunshine Coast Green Zone

3 sites · Lodging, Tents2 acres · Gibsons, BC

This property was purchased nearly half a century ago. For the majority of this time the forest section you will be camping in was left undeveloped, apart from a few mountain bike trails. Recently, as a family, we have seen a large increase in the people traveling to the Sunshine Coast to escape the city limits. Unable to rock up to a campsite and pick our spot like we used to, it was easy to see a growing demand. We have taken everything we love about camping and done our best to give you a sense of what life on the Coast is really about. Please note: By entering onto the property you release all liabilities towards us as hosts. You are choosing to camp in a forested area that contains many hazards as well as potential threats. These include but are not limited to; Wild life (bears, bob cats, cougars etc), Fire is a serious threat to this region during summer months strict no smoking policy is in effect. Care should be taken walking around uneven surfaces. All campers are required to stay within camp boundaries fail to follow these protocols will result in being asked to leave. Please respect this piece of land as much as we do. ~Hope you enjoy your time on the Sunshine Coast

Cabins in Sunshine Coast BC guide

Overview

The rugged ridge of mountains between Howe Sound in the southeast and Desolation Sound in the northwest means the only access to BC’s Sunshine Coast is by ferry—which just makes getting here more of an adventure. Once you’ve arrived, Sunshine Coast cabin rentals make for the perfect stay in this serene landscape ripe for exploration. Settle into a tiny house or cabin with amenities like a wood stove, cozy linens, and a full kitchen, or opt for a rustic, remote getaway in an A-frame offering little more than a bed, a hot tub, and maybe an outhouse. While cabin camping, take in this natural wonderland and its 100-plus miles of shoreline, from the many coves in Madeira Park to the shaded canopy, waterfall, and tranquil rock pools of Buderim Forest Park. This corner of BC is a haven for the outdoor enthusiast, from beachcombing to mountain biking on trails and paddling on lakes.
